CS-200M Mechanical Chair Scale

Installation & Operation Instructions

The CS-200M Mechanical Chair Sale is designed for the mobile challenged who have a difficult time standing on a conventional scale. It is ideal for use in clinics and nursing facilities. The scale is durable, having a sturdy enameled steel body, a durable molded plastic seat, heavy-duty footrest, and heavy-duty caster wheels for easy portability.

Installation Instructions

You will receive your Mechanical Chair Scale partially assembled. Those items that need additional assembly are:

• Pillar and beam assembly to scale base
• Steelyard rod connection
• Transport handle onto scale base
- Seat and footrest installation
- Arm rest installation

Remove all components from the shipping crate and lay out in a convenient place.

Pillar and Beam Installation

The pillar and beam comes separate from the scale base and must be attached prior to use.

Pillar

Figure 2. Pillar and Beam Components

Use the following steps to attach the pillar and beam to the scale base.

1. Have the scale sitting on the floor in an area that allows you to work freely.
2. Lock casters on the frame to eliminate the unit from rolling while assembling the scale.

Push down on latching assembly to lock wheels and prevent scale from rolling.

Insert, but don't fasten the pillar and beam into the scale base assembly as shown in Figure 4 (right hand side photo).

Steelyard Rod Connection

The steelyard rod is located inside the pillar. Remove the wire tie(s) holding the steelyard rod during shipment. Insert the pillar into the base. Once the pillar is inserted to the scale base, the steelyard rod must be attached to the bottom of the scale. The two photos below show the hook of the steelyard rod and an inside photo of the ring in the scale bottom. Latch the hook onto the D-shaped ring shown in the right hand side picture.

Installing Transport Handle

Once the pillar and beam are attached to the scale support frame and secured, it's time to attach the transport handle to the scale support frame (transport handle is illustrated in Figure 8).

1. Remove the four side screws (two on each side as shown in left hand side of Figure 7) from the scale support frame and set aside. The transport handle will attach to the scale support frame using those screws.

Figure 7. Transport Handle Installation

1. Insert the transport handle into the two sides of the scale support frame as shown in right side of Figure 7.

2. Insert and tighten the four screws using a phillips screwdriver as shown in Figure 8.

Seat and Footrest Installation

Once the transport handle is attached the next step is to install the molded seat to the scale support frame.

1. Remove the four screws from the movable scale support frame platform and set aside.

Figure 9. Removable Screws on The Movable Scale Support Frame

1. Set the chair onto the scale support frame platform but do not fasten the screws as the footrest assembly will also have to be put into place prior to tightening all screws.
2. Remove screws from the chair frame (shown in Figure 10) and set aside.
3. Tilt the chair upwards as shown in Figure 10. This will allow the installer to get the footrest assembly in place prior to securing the chair to the platform

Remove four screws from chair frame (two on each side) and tilt the chair upwards before installing footrest assembly.

1. Locate the bolt hole (x 4) location on the back of the molded chair.

Figure 14. Hole Location and Four Bolts Used for Securing Arm Rest to Chair

1. Secure the arm rests to the molded chair using the four bolts (provided and shown in Figure 14), using the 5mm allen wrench that's been provided in this packaging.

Zero Adjustment

To ensure accurate weighments, a zero adjustment should be done to the scale upon arrival and setup. To perform a zero adjustment, perform the following steps.

1. Ensure the scale is sitting on a level surface.
2. Check the eye loop area of the scale to ensure that the scale pointer is equally balanced between the eye loop area.

Figure 17. Eye Loop Area and Zero Adjusting Screw Location

1. If the scale is not balancing properly, then the small zero balance weight must be adjusted. Turn the zero adjusting screw (shown in Figure 17) using a flat head screwdriver. By adjusting the screw, the zero balance weight will move accordingly.

2. The scale is now ready to weigh patients.

3. Have the patient sit down on the molded seat. The patient should be completely seated in the chair, not leaning forward, and having feet firmly positioned on the footrest assembly.
